Make LP Not Count If Someone AFK's

Excal26·Mar 12, 2017·3 votes·731 views

I'm going to suppress a lot of angry feelings typing this. Why should I lose LP when someone in my game goes AFK in the first 5 minutes or even the last 5 minutes when it matters the most. It's not fair and it's dumb because 99% of the time you're not going to win. So why should they get a free win and I get punished. This has happened many times and doesn't seem to be a one off thing. Why does the game have to be zero-sum .

Tl;DR - if someone afk's , make LP not count. Or at the very least don't punish the losing team

Then Riot would need to implement a harsher afk system. Otherwise duos will just take turns afking.

I was thinking of people losing significantly less based off of how long someone was AFK, or, if they miraculously happen to win, they would gain even more. (So, if someone was AFK/in spawn for 30 minutes in a 60 minute game, everyone else on the team would either gain 50% more IP (around 30-ish), or lose 50% less (~10). Obviously this would not enable LP gain from enough people going afk), with the AFKer losing more based off of how long (s)he was gone (doesn't kick in unless afk for at least 5-10 minutes, because people do happen to disconnect occasionally). Idk how well-balanced that'd be, though…

"gain 50% more"

So I get 40 LP for a single game?

Make it so you gain or lose a percentage more or less based on the percentage that the AFK is gone. If they are gone for 45 minutes out of a 60 minute game, you get 75% more or less. If they are gone for 10 minutes out of a 30 minute game, you get 33% more or less.

~30 LP. I'm assuming 20 for both wins and losses, since, although it's not 100% accurate, it's pretty close.
